Prepare you torches and pitchforks my guys because today I will be talking about why the 3DS isn't my favorite Nintendo handheld and my problems with its design and features. Music by C418 c418.org/ #gaming #3ds
The point about it being uncomfortable to hold was real. The screen being 240p wasn't that bad imo, on vita so many games ended up with subnative resolutions
Yeah I really can't play the console without breaking my hands anymore and that makes me feel old ahah. I guess the Vita and Switch both have these games running lower than native then. I guess I'm way more harsh now on the screen after seeing how pretty 3DS games look upscaled.
Thank you for the compliment. I should have invested in a grip back then like you did, thankfully I didn't wait for my body to hurt to get one for the Switch.
TLDR: just me agreeing with what you have said in this video :D Honestly the 3ds was really comfy for me to hold as I grew up,but whenever I try to play it nowadays now that I have big hands my hands just start cramping. Also of your eyes are remotely bad,the 3d just doesnt work ;-; And the the circle pad pro is terrible,its always too slippery so I ended up pressing down on it and using my thumbnails, and now the rubber is almost completely gone ;-; I never really had a problem with the resolution,but thats just because my eyes suck Actually looking at the games with glasses recently has made me agree with your point on the low resolution Also unrelated but your voice is very nice :3 The Nintendo 3ds library was absolutely terrific,back in the Wii u and 3ds days I would just look through the Eshop,look at trailers,get demos(oh how i miss almost every game having a demo) and just look at the wide variety of games I think the 3d effect did hinder the strength of the 3ds that truely wasnt worth the sacrifices that had to be made I did really enjoy the 2 screen setup,but that may just be because most games I played used both screens really well,like The World Ends With You,and the Pikmin games But alot of the demos simply just out a map and menu on the bottom I did like how seamless and immersive just being able to use the bottom acreen rather than opening a menu and having to navigate to what I want to find. Also as a person with a bad sense of direction,having a live minimap on the bottom really helped me XD
@@LuluME1 the touch screen is really big for me but also streetpass, and download play are really good features i wish nintendo kept moving forward with. personally the home UI is alot cleaner having that option to use a grid instead of just a straight line. it feels like nintendo with the ds was really trying to push closer to a phone like feeling for kids even down to having a camera and audio recording software and all to social features
I unfortunately never experienced the Streetpass feature since I never took the console out with me. Nor did I have friends I regularly played or used the social features with. I didn't see too many games using the Switch's touchscreen, sometimes I forget it even has one ! This grid UI is present on the console, but you unlock it by having many games.
@LuluME1 the grid feature only opens if you click the option at the end of the switch's app rather then having it as soon as the console opens much like the 3ds and even the wii/wii u. It's nice to see all games installed at a glance as you can forget about some over time as apps are pushed further back over time
